Academic Regalia and DressRobes and hoods worn during the commencement are steeped in a tradition that dates back to the eleventh century, when the monkswho administered Oxford University in England wore shoulder capes to protect themselves from scratches when they gathered alms andhoods to protect their shaven heads from the cold. Eventually, the garb became daily attire and served as insulation from the damp andcold inside the University’s walls, and as identification that one had permission to pass into specific college buildings.
In the United States, the academic robes and hoods were first adopted as ceremonial attire for college officials in 1754 at the institutionnow known as Columbia University. In 1885, students in many of the country’s colleges and universities launched a movement to permitgraduating candidates to wear robes and caps during the commencement. Eight years later, an intercollegiate commission of universityofficials adopted the country’s first code of color and design for the academic garb. Faculty soon adopted the custom of wearing gowns atcommencement and other academic ceremonies. Although the code has been revised many times, today’s academic regalia representthose modifications accepted in 1960 and adopted by nearly 95 percent of the nation’s postsecondary institutions.
In the United States today, the academic robe is most often black; some institutions, however, sanction the use of specific colors. Thelength of the robe, the width of the sleeves’ borders, and the length of the hood all increase with each advanced degree. Colors in thehoods identify both the specific field of study in which the degree was earned, as shown by the velvet border, as well as the institution thatgranted it, as shown by the lining. The following color table provides a key to the fields of study according to the Intercollegiate Code:

White ......................................................................... Arts, Letters, and Humanities

T he mace was originally a medieval weapon thatwas carried by bishops of the church into battleas a protective device. The mace has survived for
more than 900 years in a shape similar to that of a club,which commemorates its very early use.
In later times, the mace was carried by sergeants-at-arms who were bodyguards of kings and others ofhigh rank. Both Richard I of England and Phillip II ofFrance ordered their sergeant-at-arms to carry a cer-emonial mace. Legislative bodies, such as the EnglishParliament, also adopted the ceremonial mace as part
of the pomp and circumstance associated with open-ing the meeting of the body.
As universities developed during this same period, they tooadopted the mace for use in academic processions. Today the
mace is carried by the “Macebearer” who leads the platform party,which includes the University President and other dignitaries, onto the
stage for the graduation ceremony.
Throughout history, special craftsmen were presented with the task ofdecorating the mace so it carefully embodied the history, traditions, and
symbols of the academic institution. Often leading citizens or alumni of auniversity would donate the mace at the time of a special event.
